Chapter 350: Chapter 348 Difficulty of Elixir Recipe_i

In the Spirit Field,

The last four Primordial Essence Herb have fully matured, and Lu Xuan has gathered them one by one.

[Harvest a Grade Three Primordial Essence Herb, receive a Grade Three Foundation Establishment Pill.] *2

[Harvest a Grade Three Primordial Essence Herb, receive a Formula for a Grade Three Foundation Establishment Pill,]

[Harvest a Grade Three Primordial Essence Herb, receive a Grade Three Magic Item: Spirit Absorbing Grass Bead.]

The rewards from the four light clusters appeared one after another in Lu Xuan’s hands or in his mind.

At this point, all the Primordial Essence Herb that he had been asked to plant by the Pill Palace had matured completely.

There was not a single loss among the twenty Primordial Essence Herbs, with a survival rate of one hundred percent. Among them, thirteen were of ordinary quality, six were of good quality, and surprisingly, he also harvested one superior quality Primordial Essence Herb.

Lu Xuan speculated that this might be a result of the careful nurturing before and after the growth of the Spirit Plant.

In the twenty white light clusters, there were twelve Grade Three Foundation Building Pills, five Foundation Building Pill Formula Experience Packs, and three Grade Three Spirit Absorbing Grass Beads.

The Five Foundation Building Pill Formula Experience Packages raised his skill level in refining foundation building pills to proficiency level, equating to the experience of an ordinary alchemist immersed in the practice for decades.

Three Spirit Absorbing Grass Beads, one was fed to the Grass Puppet, and the other two were kept for future use. Once the Qingmu Origin Energy in his Dantian was depleted, the beads would be used to replenish the grass and wood spiritual energy.

“The Five-Element Fruit needs a considerable amount of time to mature. Until then, these twenty Primordial Essence Herbs can be handed over to the Pill Palace.”

When he was teaching the Outer Sect Disciples about cultivating Spirit Plants experience, an alchemist who was teaching at the same time took interest in his Spirit Plant cultivation skills, and commissioned him to cultivate Primordial Essence Herb and the Five-Element Fruit for the Pill Palace. The Spirit Seeds were provided by the Pill Palace.

Lu Xuan gladly accepted the free Spirit Seeds which came with the chance to reap the Light Cluster rewards.

He took out a communication talisman to contact Alchemist Guan Wan from the Pill Palace and they quickly arranged the time and place for the meeting. After confirming, Lu Xuan, riding his Wind Falcon, made his way to the Pill Palace.

“Junior Brother Lu, you’re here.”

A female cultivator with a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation base dressed in yellow robes was quietly waiting at the gate. The moment she saw Lu Xuan, she drifted over to him with a soft tone.

“It’s been a while, Sister Guan looks as radiant as ever.”

Lu Xuan laughed and bowed in return.

The two entered the Pill Palace.

Guided by Guan Wan, Lu Xuan entered a simple, yet elegant room.

In the room, an unknown incense was burnished, the aroma was rich, and in the center stood a giant, peculiar Pill Furnace.

“Sister Guan, these are the twenty Primordial Essence Herbs you commissioned me to cultivate, please have a look.”

After a brief conversation, Lu Xuan took out all the Primordial Essence Herbs from his storage bag and floated them in front of Guan Wan.

With a simple sweep of her spiritual sense, she immediately understood.

“All twenty Primordial Essence Herbs are matured, and they all seem to have a decent quality. You have worked hard during this period, Junior Brother Lu.” She spoke softly while picking up a herb for a closer examination.

“A good quality Primordial Essence Herb, as expected from Junior Brother Lu, one of the top Spirit Plant Masters in the sect.”

Guan Wan exclaimed with admiration.

“Eh? There’s even a superior quality one!”

She opened her mouth in surprise, exclaiming aloud.

Having the position to teach Outer Sect Disciples about Alchemy, she naturally holds a high status in the field of Alchemy and realizes the difficulty in obtaining a superior-quality Grade Three Spiritual Plant.

Most alchemists within the Pill Palace tended to grow their own spiritual materials for making Foundation Establishment pills. Due to their focus on cultivation and Alchemy, they rarely spend considerable effort on nurturing spiritual plants.

When it was time to harvest, often low-quality spiritual plants were produced.

Even minor accidents would lead the plants to wither and die.

It was hard to improve the survival, and the low-quality plants often reduced the success rates in alchemy.

If the spiritual plants were entrusted to the sect for cultivation, the survival rate was greatly improved. However, since they are third-grade spiritual plants, they were difficult to nourish and once matured, the quality was mostly average, occasionally good or poor quality.

High-quality ones were something Guan Wan hadn’t witnessed before.

The higher the quality of the Spiritual Plant, the higher the success rate in pill refinement, and the better the quality of the pill.

Lu Xuan’s twenty Primordial Essence Herbs were not only fully mature, but none fell behind in quality and were even enveloped in notable excellence.

How could Guan Wan not be satisfied!

Her smile spread wider on her face, and her gaze towards Lu Xuan softened.

“According to our agreement, successfully cultivating a Primordial Essence Herb, Junior Brother Lu was granted ten sword marks.

“High-quality ones have additional rewards, good-quality ones yield twenty sword marks each, and superior-quality ones another ten sword marks.”

“Twenty Primordial Essence Herbs amount to a total of two hundred and eighty sword marks. Junior Brother Lu, please verify the number.”

As Guan Wan spoke, a small pile of sword marks drifted towards Lu Xuan.

“The count is correct.”

Lu Xuan scanned with his spiritual sense and confirmed.

Guan Wan watched Lu Xuan collecting the sword marks with a smirk on her face.

Even though the rewards for the twenty Primordial Essence Herbs were more than before, she longed for it.

After all, more sword marks meant higher quality Primordial Essence Herbs, a precious commodity for any alchemist.

Lu Xuan gladly accepted the sword marks.

Two hundred and eighty sword marks were worth almost one fourth-grade spirit seed, which made his painstaking cultivation worthwhile.

Not to mention the plentiful Foundation Establishment Pills, Pill Formula Experience Packages, and Nascent Soul Grass Orbs that had emerged from the light cluster.

Both the Pill Palace and Lu Xuan won big this time.

May I ask, Junior Brother Lu, are you willing to continue this type of cooperation with the Pill Palace?”

Guan Wan carefully broached the subject after storing the Primordial Essence Herbs.

“Of course!”

Lu Xuan answered without any hesitation.

“I, for one, relish dealing with plants, animals, birds, insects, and fish.”

“I might struggle if Sister Guan were to ask me to explore a secret land or hunt some demon beast, but as for cultivating spiritual plants, it’s effortless.”

Lu Xuan continued to fortify his plain and simple Spirit Plant Master persona.

“Very well, considering your excellent cultivation results this time, I will apply to the elders of the Pill Palace for more varieties of spiritual plants for you.” However, the Spirit Plant Master needs to prepare and coordinate the spirit seeds, and they will be delivered to your residence shortly.”

“Many thanks, Sister Guan.”

Lu Xuan expressed his sincere gratitude.

“By the way, Sister Guan, are the new spirit seeds also for refining Foundation Establishment Pills?”

“Correct, Foundation Establishment Pills are in high demand and are hard to refine, thus resulting in an increased need for high-grade spiritual plants.” “Won’t revealing the associated spiritual medicines lead to other cultivators figuring out the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill?”

“It’s not that simple.” ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

There was a hint of pride on Guan Wan’s face.

“Many cultivators, families, and small sects, all know the ingredients required to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, but they have not been able to do so.”

The first hurdle is the inability to grow the necessary spiritual medicine in specific quantities. After all, the cultivation process calls for numerous third- grade spiritual plants, which are not easy to acquire.”

“Afterwards, there are more challenges to overcome, with the most crucial one being the unknown specifics of the pill formula.”

“As in, they are clueless about how to process the spiritual medicines, the quantity to pour in, what counts as main and auxiliary ingredients, how to control the pill fire, when to extract the pills, etc.”

“The pill formula stands as the most significant obstacle for other cultivators striving to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.”

Guan Wan explained gravely.

Lu Xuan merely nodded, sneering inwardly.

“Is the pill formula that difficult? Isn’t it just about cultivating various spiritual plants and then releasing the light clusters?”
